The book "Diary of my journey over the mountains while surveying lands for Lord Thomas Fairfax, Baron Cameron, in the northern peninsula of Virginia, beyond the Blue Ridge, in the years 1747-1748" is a unique document of historical significance, presented by the then young George Washington. In his journal, Washington describes the difficulties of surveying land in the remote mountainous areas of Virginia, recounting the discoveries, encounters with the natives, and the natural beauty that struck him during this expedition. This book allows the reader to step during an important period in the history of the United States, with the pen of Washington himself, and penetrate the atmosphere of that time.
